Managing Performance through Training and Development provides comprehensive and current coverage of training approaches in practice by successful organizations today. By investing in their employees and focusing on enhancing their knowledge, skills, and abilities, an organization can ensure both employee retention and long-term success. This title is part of the Nelson Series in Human Resources Management, a collection of 6 titles that are built with both students and HR professionals in mind. The titles in the series reflect the most recent research, use examples from Canadian companies, and have become known as valid and reliable resources in each of the functional areas. "Managing Performance Through Training and Development, Eighth Edition, focuses on continuous learning and skill development as a fundamental requirement for organizations today. The ability to compete, adapt, innovate, and achieve an organization's goals and objectives in today's increasingly competitive and uncertain environment depends in large part on the provision and effectiveness of training and development. Employees need the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes to be productive and innovative, so that organizations have the human capital they need to be competitive and survive."-- Provided by publisher "Managing Performance Through Training and Development, Eighth Edition, focuses on continuous learning and skill development as a fundamental requirement for organizations today.
